You deal directly with the expert

When you are dealing with Bendigo Dog Training, you are dealing directly with the expert.

We are not a franchise, so you are not dealing with someone who perhaps has a quick qualification and maybe only owned a couple of pets, and then decided they would like to become a professional dog trainer. Rather, you are dealing directly with a highly-experienced dog trainer, breeder, behaviourist and author.

“Honestly amazing! I cannot recommend Tully enough.” – Jemma Flanagan

“After months of training with another trainer without any result… couldn’t believe my eyes. Worth every dollar.” – Christa Goodall

“Cannot recommend Tully’s services highly enough!!” – Kat Young

“Still can’t quite get over the change his training has made to her and us!” – Carolyn Harrington

“After paying hundreds of dollars for another trainer with no improvement whatsoever, then 1 visit to Tully and all our troubles with pulling and walking were over!” – Anita

“Like watching a miracle unfold.” – Simone

“Delighted with the results…” – Sophia & Justin White

Highly experienced – practice not theory

In fact, you are dealing with a dog trainer with over 30 years experience, who has personally trained well over 400 of his own dogsand is personally training many more all the time. This is in addition to the large number of dog owners he assists in training (from basic to advanced, and general to specialized) and problem solving every year, of every breed, and every problem imaginable. Such hard-earned practical experience doesn’t come along very often.

Keep in mind that there is “experience”, and then there is real experience! Even a pet owner could claim to have a lifetime of experience of “training dogs”. They may have owned a handful of pets in their life, one or two at a time for 10 or 15 years. Many authors of dog training books are the same, and much of the advice you read on the internet comes from such sources.

When dealing with Bendigo Dog Training, you can be sure you are dealing with real practical experience and knowledge, and not just theory or a quick qualification.

World renowned author

In 2007, the CSIRO published Tully’s ground-breaking book “Working Sheepdogs – A practical guide to breeding, training and handling.” Some quick comments have been:

“an outstanding piece of work…. destined to become a classic in its field.”

“Williams’ detailed research and fine insights reveal the painstaking obsession of brilliance.”

“”Working Sheep Dogs” is a seminal book on the subject.”

“…one of the best training books I have.”

“one of the best, most insightful books on working stock dogs”

“…a truly exceptional book on breeding…a joy to read.”

“…the finest book written on the selection, breeding, training and handling of working dogs… a must read for every working dog breeder, trainer and farmer.”

Effective solutions that really work!

Sometimes there are various possible methods and solutions to dog training or behavioural problems. The more knowledge and experience a trainer has, generally the quicker and more effectively they can achieve lasting results for you and your dog.

Quicker results means less work for you, and less money spent on ongoing training. If you are like most pet owners, then you probably want effective results in the easiest, shortest time possible. Our training methods do exactly that. Not every problem can be solved in a week, but you can rest assured that we will help you get the results you need as quickly and effectively as possible.

…a wonderful experience

What a wonderful experience we had with Tully and our puppy Daisy! Tully taught us in a respectful and knowledgeable way how to train our pup. Tully clearly has a wealth of experience and his strategies for the most simple commands through to more complicated tasks were spot on. We now have a delightful puppy - we couldn't have done it without him! Thank you so much Tully

Adrian & Erica Carr

Wow… I am gobsmacked!! Thankyou!

Wow, I went home on my lunch break and went outside to see Boof and usually he is so excited and jumps all over me and he just stood in front of me! I am gobsmacked!! Thankyou!

Bronwyn Irving

Honestly amazing! I cannot recommend Tully enough.

My partner and I honestly can't thank Tully enough for his expertise, knowledge and support in our private dog training lessons. So far we have had 2 private lessons for our 14 month old purebred Labrador, Argo. Argo's largest problem was pulling severely on the lead. We honestly cannot believe the incredible improvement Argo has made since seeing Tully. Today (after just 2 weeks) I was able to take Argo for a walk with nearly NO PULLING! This is honestly amazing!
Tully, we cannot thank you enough for all that you've done already and we cannot wait to see what future sessions entail. Thank you thank you. For anyone looking for dog training I cannot recommend Tully enough. His knowledge, tips/tricks & experience is exceptional!

Jemma K. Flanagan

I highly recommend!!

He has helped me a lot. And will be getting Tully Williams back to do more. I highly recommend!!

Amy Evans

Can’t thank Tully enough…

We can't thank Tully enough, we were on the verge of having to re-home our family pet, and after three sessions we have a dog who will calmly interact with our family and is quickly learning to do everything he's told.

Nikki Anthony

…practical, simple and easy

A friend recommended Tully to us after they had a "breakthrough" with their dog. I was keen to see what help Tully could provide us - we didn't have any "major" problems - but we knew there were a few areas where our dog could improve. Tully's advice was very practical and simple & easy enough for us to follow through with. We noticed a change in our dog straight away - walking her on the lead soon became a breeze! Thanks Tully.

…like watching a miracle unfold

Hi Tully, I just wanted to thank you for demonstrating how to properly walk/lead a dog (especially a big eager heeler pup) on a lead. It was like watching a miracle unfold. It has given me the confidence to give it a really good go.. Thanks again.

Simone

…learnt so much in such a short time!

Hi Tully, thank you so much for our lesson last Thursday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much in such a short time!

Melissa Harper

…his rates are peanuts compared to what he delivers and what’s out there!

After paying hundreds of dollars for another trainer to come out to my home for 1 hour, I had no improvement whatsoever. Then 1 visit to Tully & not a minute later all our troubles with pulling and walking on the lead were over! It's been weeks now and my dog has not faltered.
Tully has given me the tools and knowledge to enjoy my dog as a pet, and now we are working on sheep so he will soon become a trusty work mate too. Thank you Tully for giving Buddy & I the chance to understand one another and develop a great partnership.
I highly recommend Tully to help you train your dog (for work or as a pet). His rates are peanuts compared to what he delivers and what's out there! Thanks again,

Anita

…he’s worked absolute wonders

Tully is wonderful, he's worked absolute wonders with our boy & us. We couldn’t have come this far without his help & advice. Thank you once again Tully, we would recommend you to anyone

Carolyn Harrington

…delighted with the results

Bendigo Dog Training came highly recommended to us and we were delighted with the results. The techniques that Tully taught us for handling our dog were invaluable.

Sophia & Justin White

…cured in 45 minutes

Fantastic and fast dog training. Our Ridgeback Sam had a phobia of bridges (refused to cross the Mitchell St train bridge, or any others), and was hard to get into the car. Cured in 45 Minutes. Highly Recommended.

Andrew Wilkinson

…cannot recommend Tully’s services highly enough!!

We cannot thank Tully enough for the help he has given us with our 1 year old Great Dane. We had a lot of problems with her constantly barking at our neighbours kids and at us, and after just 2 sessions with Tully, her barking has completely stopped. We are blown away by this result and cannot recommend Tully’s services highly enough!!

Kat Young

…can’t speak highly enough

Belinda & I enlisted the help of Bendigo Dog Training for our 12 month old Hungarian Viszla. After the very first visit Memphis was a completely different dog, so calm and relaxed. Tully's training methods are very calm but assertive to ensure the dog knows exactly what is wanted when told. He also instills in the owners that we can do it. With time, patience & practice it will come. We can't speak highly enough of Tully & Bendigo Dog Training.

David Ruffell

…amazing outcome

I had problems with my dog Kia jumping on everyone she saw whilst out walking. Since my lessons with Tully we now walk up the street with no jumping, no chasing cats or other dogs, and best of all NO LEAD! Thankyou Tully - an amazing outcome.

Jenny Round

…couldn’t believe my eyes

So grateful! After months of training with positive reinforcement with another trainer without any result, Max our one year old puppy walked on the lead within 2 minutes without any pulling thanks to Bendigo Dog Training. Couldn't believe my eyes. He is a different puppy on the lead. Our walks are now enjoyable instead of frustrating. Worth every dollar!!! Thanks.

Christa Goodall

Still can’t quite get over the change his training has made to her and us!

We adopted a very boisterous Staghound cross, and as first time dog owners with two indoor cats we were completely out of our depth. After just a few sessions with Tully our ‘girl’ is toilet trained, no longer chases the cats, walks on a lead, responds to commands and is generally a well-disciplined dog. We still can’t quite get over the change his training has made to her and us!
Tully has a relaxed approach and gives very clear and easy to understand instruction. If you follow his advice you can’t go wrong. Our home has gone from a place of chaos to peace and calm again. We highly recommend Tully and the service he provides.

Helen Kitching

We would recommend you to anyone

A huge thank you to Tully for helping us with our little boy. He has turned a little mischievous German Shepherd into a more calmer boy. Tully has a lot of patience especially when it comes to showing us owners how to be more confident in training. Tully has helped us out a lot & we must admit we really needed his help. Thank you once again Tully we would have been lost without all your help, we would recommend you to anyone.

Carolyn Harrington

2 sessions…and the fighting has stopped

2 sessions and our 2 dogs are so much improved. The fighting has stopped & the humans in the house are much more relaxed and in control. Simple & effective. Thanks so much Tully!

Fleur Hastings

…amazing knowledge and experience…we strongly recommend you to anyone

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge and experience Tully. We really appreciate you taking the time to train us so we can successfully train our dog. We are also really grateful that you travelled out to Heathcote. We strongly recommend you to anyone who needs help with their fur baby! 10/10

Meaghan Lee

Don’t put it off…you won’t be disappointed

Can't thank Tully enough! We decided to try the New Puppy Consult & highly recommend anyone with a new puppy to give it a go! In 1 hour Tully had stopped her from trying to get in the house, shown us how to walk her properly as she wasn't keen on the lead (now loves her walk) stopped her from jumping. I was amazed at the difference it made to our gorgeous girl in just 1 hour. Don't put it off give it a go as you won't be disappointed.
